Sesame opened a public preview of its iOS app on Thursday, offering four conversational AI agents—Maya, Miles, Simone and Charlie—with the full experience free for now, though some users may face a short waitlist.
The startup says the app is built to sound more natural than standard chatbots by combining fast retrieval with parallel searches that continue while the agent is speaking, letting responses update mid-conversation.
User feedback from Sesame’s beta added search cards with images, notes, a texting mode, deep-dive support and an incognito option that uses prior context without saving anything to memory.
More than 1 million people accessed Sesame’s earlier research preview within weeks, and the company—backed by a $250 million Series B—now says Android is coming later.
The app is positioned as a first step toward broader agentic AI plans, including intelligent eyewear targeted for 2027 and future agents that can act on users’ behalf.

Sesame’s AI can mimic human stumbles and breath. Is this breakthrough the final frontier in the race for AI voice supremacy?

As AI voices become indistinguishable from humans, how can society prevent a new wave of sophisticated scams and maintain digital trust?

When AI agents can act on our behalf, who is truly in control: the user, the brand, or the AI itself?
